Christians celebrate Christmas for what it represents rather than the day itself.
To begin with, Christmas is something started by the Catholics wrongly... and due to most protestants branching from Catholics, these traditions are carried forward.

So unfortunately, Christmas has been wrongly commercialized but in fact there is NOTHING in the bible that asks Christians to celebrate Christmas..

precisely.

sabbath was made for man, not the other way round. yet, many don't understand.

Bible clearly mentioned to rest on the 7th day. yet, many have their service on Sundays or from Saturday evening/night. According to our bible, it's from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. yet, many are blinded and treat the sabbath day to the convenience of themselves.

My earlier note was all quoted from the bible, yet, no one sees it.

last year i had an accident, i break few bone
two of them are on my ribs and the breaking point is near to the spine.

during that time, i lay on the ground and i tot i break my spine and i going to be paralysis for life
i was being paranoid

during that time i pray, i never pray before.. i dun believe in god and especially Christianity..
i think all is bullcrap

but everything turn out fine.. i have fully recover and back to 50% of my strength now

the 1st question i want to ask is, why am i praying to jesus during that time?
personally, i think is due to the media.. i watch lot of american sitcom, there is always someone mentioning christianity in somewhere

the 2nd question is, why am i praying... i dun believe in god (in any form) and if there are god, i hate him/her/its for all the shit that happened to me and to the world.
But why, why am i praying???

3rd question is, what if my prayer was heard by god and god help me pass through that difficult time. what should i do?? pray to him? thank him?? believe on god?
what if i just ignore it?

everything doesnt make sense..
thanks

maybe i'll say thank you to him when i ready.

Thanks anyway.

I think people from Catholic background believe that suicide forfeits your salvation? Their logic is that's if you won't commit the most horrible sin a.k.a murder on others, the same goes for yourself.

But.... I don't remember any 'most horrible sin' in the Bible. In fact all sins are equally horrible in the eyes of God. Where did the idea that suicide = forfeit salvation come from?

If it's because it's dying in open rebellion, then it's just as open rebellion to die with a grudge against another person, or die with lust in their hearts, or greed, or anything really.

I think you already have the hints in what you've said.

We have no right to take the life of anyone, what more our own.

When God breath life into us, it is something sacred. Every life is precious

Maybe the idea came from the passage on Judas when he took his own life and scripture mentioned he was doomed to destruction.
